Holy Bone

Chapter 578 Jinan Version Journey to the West
Jin'an went to the capital of Xizhou,

West out of Yangguan,

into the Western Desert,

Then followed the caravan to the Yueqiang Kingdom, the first stop in the Western Regions,
Then walk along the ancient desert river all the way to the depths of the desert,
through Umad,

Xi Tuo Kingdom,
Old Sadiq and young Sahab’s hometown, Tesh Sata Village,
During this period, there have been several water cut-off crises, several times of getting lost, and two or three major sandstorms during the wind season.

After more than three months, I finally found Xiaoqiu Kingdom, the ancient ruins closest to Guchi Kingdom, in the deepest part of the uninhabited desert!
There, they saw the spectacle of a blizzard in the desert overnight!I also saw the miracle of turning the desert into the sea after the heavy snow melted!
Then take the desert ghost ship to find the disappeared Guchi Guohuahai Holy Mountain,

And in the depths of the desert basin, the ruins of the ancient country of Guchi were found one after another.

Laughing Corpse Village,
Wuer's Ancient Ruins,

Centipede ancient country ruins,

buddhist ruins,

I also saw the spectacle of the aurora in the desert. The folks also called this vision of heaven and earth Chiyou Banner and Chulong.
Finally found the legendary kingdom of the undead!

These adventures took another month or two!
From the intense heat of September to the severe winter of February, Jin'an walked for five months. The hardships were unimaginable for ordinary people, but this time when he left the desert basin and returned to Teshisata Village, it only took about 20 days. Had it not been for the drying up of Desert Lake and the lack of a boat as a means of transportation, they could have arrived at Teshisata Village [-] days earlier.

They just crossed the Tibetan Corpse Ridge in the Guchi Kingdom, crossed the desert no man's land in the middle, and stopped and stopped when they reached the ruins of the Xiaoqiu Kingdom, which took them an extra [-] days or so.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert in winter is so large that it can freeze people to death outdoors. If the seal of the Sun Bureau had not been broken and the weather in the deep desert had risen abnormally, Jin'an and the others would not have returned to Teshisata so smoothly. village.

Sitting in a house sheltered from the wind and sand, roasting a warm bonfire, eating barbecue jerky, drinking warm goat milk, talking freely amidst relaxing laughter, everyone hooked shoulders and laughed happily, without the intrigue and bad things in the secular world , the desert people welcome guests and relatives back home with the most simple enthusiasm and mutton, goat milk wine, hot naan, plucked ear, tambourine...

The desert is vast and sparsely populated. Villages and villages are often separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles. The lack of communication with the outside world naturally reduces the pollution from secular interests. Perhaps the living conditions here are difficult It's a bit old, but the people here still maintain the rarest simplicity and humanity.

At this time, the old Sadiq and the young Sahafu, who had recovered and reunited with their relatives, kept toasting goat milk wine to Jin An and Mr. Yiyun.

Jin'an is their savior and their noble person in life, so a toast should be made.

In their eyes, Mr. Yiyun is Apa and his mistress, so it is logical for the apprentice to toast to his mistress.

Although Jin An never personally mentioned that they would be accepted as apprentices, the uncle and nephew had already recognized Jin An as their teachers in their hearts.

After the old Sadik and the young Sahafu finished toasting, their families also came to toast for a round. Everyone saw that Jin'an was still blushing and breathless after drinking so much goat's milk wine. Later, all the old and young men in the village came to toast one after another , Thumbs up and praised the Han people not only for their great martial arts, but also for their drinking capacity, which convinced them.

"Daoist Jin'an, you not only saved Sadiq and Sahafu, but also helped the village find water sources. You are the life-saving benefactor of our whole village, and the noble person bestowed by the desert gods to our whole village. You, Daoist Jin'an That's it." The old patriarch of Teshisata Village drank a few more glasses because he was too happy, and gave Jin'an a thumbs up in a drunken way.

The old patriarch who was already drunk continued to drink with Jin An, but was finally persuaded by everyone to give up. The old patriarch was old, and they were afraid that the old patriarch would hurt his body if he drank any more.

"Daoist Jin'an, don't just drink, come here, eat more mutton, thank you, Taoist Jin'an, for taking care of me along the way." Old Sadiq handed the roast mutton jerky.

This was naturally rejected by Jin An.

Old Sadiq had expected it a long time ago. He took back the mutton, turned his head and smiled bitterly at the woman sitting next to him, and said, "Look, I said that Daoist Jin'an doesn't eat mutton. Stop pinching my waist, it hurts."

Old Sadik gasped as he spoke.

His wife, Erguli, glared at old Sadik, but still didn't let go of the tenderest piece of meat on old Sadik's waist, pinched and twisted it around, blaming old Sadik for talking too much.

Old Sadiq went to Kangding several times with a caravan when he was young. He married the flower of Teshisata Village by copying a few romantic love poems of the Han people.But Ergul has never disliked Sadiq, the old husband and wife are still loving each other like glue, they have been separated for many years, and they can't hide their deep love for each other in their eyes.

Listening to the old Sadik's conversation, the people in the room roared with laughter, and someone shouted loudly: "Erguli, pinch the old Sadik's waist again, be careful that he will not be able to sleep in your bed for a month due to his back pain. "

Others also booed: "It doesn't matter if old Sadik can't get into bed, as long as he can lie down, Erguli will always find a way."

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

The desert woman has a straightforward temperament, and she will speak out her words straightforwardly. Erguli said not to be outdone, "My man said that since he practiced with Daoist Jin'an, he is now so strong that he can carry a camel, and he has not slept for three days in a row." Still full of energy, can you guys be as powerful as my man?"

Teshi Sata Village is located in the depths of the desert, and there are not many people who can speak Chinese. Only the old Sadiq and the young Sahafu understand some Chinese language because they have dealt with the caravan, so these villagers use the Western Region During the exchange of words, Jin An was confused, and looked at Mr. Yiyun, who was eating jerky with a dagger, "What are they talking about, and what are they talking about so happy?"

As soon as Jin An finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Yiyun's face in surprise again: "Hey, why is your face so red, Mr. Yiyun?"

At this time, Mr. Yiyun Xiafei had both cheeks.

Like a juicy, juicy red apple.

Mr. Yiyun still pretended to cut the meat seriously, pretending that he didn't hear Jin An's words.

Jin'an then asked Ilham and Yali, the captain of the Yueqiang Cavalry Squad who were on the side. This time, when they returned to Teshisata Village, not only old Sadiq and young Sahap turned back into human bodies, but also Ilham. personal.

However, outsiders did not know that the three sheep and three camels in the team were transformed by animal-making techniques. Jin An casually found a reason to prevaricate them, saying that the three of them were accidentally killed by him when they were traveling in the desert because of atonement. found in .

Although this reason was full of loopholes, but out of trust in Jin An, no one doubted it.

Looking at Jin'an's innocent eyes, Ilham coughed a few times. He couldn't say that everyone was talking about dirty jokes, and praised Daoist Jin'an that you are more capable. Ilham finally choked out such a sentence: "Old Sadiq said Daoist Jin'an, you don't eat mutton, so let everyone stop giving you mutton, and then everyone praises you, Daoist Jin'an, for your kind heart, not only your magic skills, but also your love for animals... Well, that's right , That's it, everyone is praising Daoist Jin'an that you are amazing."

Jin An looked at Ilham suspiciously: "Is that true?"

Irihamu nodded awkwardly.

Jin'an, who still didn't believe it, asked Yali this time. Yari felt that he was under a lot of pressure. One was that his king could not be offended, and the other was that he admired the Taoist priest Jin'an most in his heart. Neither of them could be offended, and finally he was vague. Ci said: "Yari thinks what my lord said is quite right."

This was agreed upon from the very beginning, and the iron cavalry of the Yueqiang Kingdom would not call themselves kings in front of the villagers, but adults instead.

"Kipper?"

"Ai Yimaimati?"

Jin An asked one by one, but everyone was vague and perfunctory.

With a straight nose, fresh cherry lips, and red lips with a bit of oil stains, Mr. Yiyun, who exudes a seductive luster, continued to pretend that he did not notice the gazes from around him, and cut off the roast meat with a dagger, chewing and eating slowly, but this At that time, her mind was not on the barbecue, and she couldn't taste the fishy taste of the mutton at all, like chewing wax.

Jin An looked at the mutton in Mr. Yiyun's hand, his throat slipped deeply, and finally looked at the mutton and sighed: "Why is there only mutton in the desert!"

He hadn't eaten meat a few times in the desert this time.

After eating the naan for half a year, the taste of birds has long since faded from my mouth.

The silly sheep, who was holding a hay sack beside him, suddenly raised his head and looked at Jin An vigilantly when he heard Jin An mention the word sheep, with a few wisps of hay still sticking to the tip of his nose.

Since this silly sheep entered the desert, his temper has calmed down a lot, and he no longer looks for humans to fight for his life when he sees humans eating mutton, because Jin'an and the silly sheep have three chapters of agreement, Jin'an trades himself not to eat mutton in exchange for others to eat mutton.

He is sacrificing the small self to redeem the big self, and he is the active dedication spirit of saving sentient beings if I don't go to hell.

Jin An was crying in his heart.

……

……

Because he was always thinking about the old Taoist priest, Jin An didn't rest for too long in Teshisata Village, only rested for three days. After leaving most of the camels and only a small part of the camels for himself, he took the others to continue Go on the road and say goodbye to old Sadiq and young Sahaf in the village.

Before parting, even the old Sadiq, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help his eyes flushed and his voice choked up. Little Sahafu cried even more sadly, reluctant to part with Jin'an, and both of them proposed to send Jin'an out of the Western Regions. Was dissuaded by Jin An.

"The twenty or so sand-robbed camels I left behind, without the two of you to take care of them in the village, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. Only you two can stay and take care of me so I can rest assured." Jin'an said to the two alone. .

"Those sand thieves deserve their crimes. Even if they spend their entire lives as cattle and horses, they will not be able to pay off the countless killings they committed, so don't pay attention to them. If you have any dirty work in the future, you will use them more. This is not harming them. On the contrary, it is to save them, and they are all wearing sins now."

"Also, after I leave, don't leave behind to practice. The well water with the amulet of Erlang Zhenjun's order can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can be regarded as a small spirit pool. In the future, you should sit by the well water and practice more. It will greatly benefit your practice. It is beneficial. You also let the villagers worship the statue of Erlang Zhenjun in Shenyuli more in the future. This Erlang Zhenjun is not only the god who protects one side, but also the god of water. It is definitely right to pay more visits to Erlang God."

"In addition, you must keep in mind that you must keep your mouth shut about the Holy Mountain of Huahai and the Kingdom of the Immortal God, and don't tell anyone, not even your closest relatives, otherwise it will bring disaster to the entire village. "

Jin An used these instructions to dilute the sadness in his heart.

Life always gathers less and leaves more, and when parting, there is always reluctance and sentimentality.

Jin'an and the others were leaving, and the villagers went out of the village to see them off. Jin'an not only brought clean water to the desert village, but also left behind nearly a hundred camels before they left. Big favor.

In the desert, camels are very precious. Few people will kill camels. Camels can not only save people in the arid desert, but also sail in the desert. They are divine beasts bestowed by the gods in the desert. Gave them a great fortune.

"It is necessary to send you off for thousands of miles, so let's say goodbye, don't send it off again." Jin An waved his hand to say goodbye to the villagers behind him.

The villagers who had been sent for more than a dozen miles watched Jin'an and his party drift away in the sea of ​​sand, until they stood on the sand dunes and could no longer see their backs, and then stopped for a long time. The old Sadiq and Xiao Sa with red eyes Only then did Ha Fu lead the villagers back to the village.

At the beginning, the villagers were grateful and demolished the well water sheds, and built a shrine on the original site. In the shrine, there were statues of Erlang Zhenjun, Taoist gods, and goat gods, praying for good weather and strong cattle and sheep. This time, everyone returned to the village. He didn't go back to the house right away, but walked towards Shenyu silently. This time, he didn't pray for good weather or strong cattle and sheep, but prayed for Jin'an to have a safe journey and find the lost apprentices and old Taoist priests smoothly.

……

……

On the vast and boundless sandy sea, Ilham, who was riding on a camel with the undulations of the sand dunes and followed the bumps, looked back at the direction behind them. They walked far away and could no longer see the Teshisata village behind them.

Ilham turned his head and looked curiously at Jin'an who was riding on the back of a goat and walking in front: "Master Jin'an, what did you say to brother Sadiq before you left? I saw his eyes were firm, as if Finally made a decision."

Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo, who were also riding on camels, also looked curiously at Jin An who was walking in the front.

Jin Anle laughed and said: "I didn't say anything, but the old Sadiq was worried that those sand robbers would climb the wall on the female camels in the village if they were in heat, and asked me what to do, should they be castrated? Or should they be kept in separate captivity?"

Uh.

Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo were taken aback.

Then Mr. Yiyun gave Jin An a hard look.

Jin An felt a little baffled.

Cough, Jin An: "I say eunuch or not eunuch, there is reproductive isolation between the two."

Reproductive isolation?

What is that?

Someone asked curiously.

……

……

In the next few days, at dusk, the group of people found a sheltered place to spend the night in advance, and continued on their way as usual after dawn.

When they arrived at Xituo Kingdom, Jin'an and Ilhamu parted here.

Naturally, all kinds of reluctance are indispensable, and Ilham wants to keep Yali and the others to solve Jin'an's worries.

But was declined by Jin An.

In the end, only Jin'an, Mr. Yiyun, and Qibo were left, together with Ai Yimaimati and others. They followed another fast route in Xituo Kingdom, all the way north, along the ancient desert business road, bypassing In the no-man's-land of the desert, turn west again, enter Tubo westward, and pass through the Kunlun Mountains.

Along the way, you will encounter many desert countries. Jin’an and Ai Yimaimati will part one by one. Ai Yimaimati and these people dare to go deep into the desert to find the kingdom of the undead god, which shows their identity Bufan, he is either the prince of various kingdoms or the son of a great general, and has a very high status in the desert.With them escorting them all the way, the rest of the journey was peaceful and nothing happened.

And out of gratitude, Jin'an left a water talisman of Zhenjun Erlang in each of the countries where Ayimaimaiti and the others were located.

The desert is huge, the ruins of the ancient city are indispensable, and some strange things are indispensable, so Jin'an has gained a lot of virtue along the way.

What Jin An didn't know was that this act of kindness had planted good causes and fruits in the Western Regions, but these are all for later.

After parting from Ayimamaiti and the others, only Jin An, Mr. Yiyun, Qi Bo, goats, and a dozen camels were left to continue crossing the desert for a short distance.

It is winter now, when the Kunlun Mountains are covered by heavy snow. In this season, it is impossible to directly enter the Kunlun Mountains. You have to go north and then westward, and pass through the ruins of the ancient Zhang Zhung Kingdom after a large circle before entering Tubo and passing through the Kunlun Mountains.

But this road is just easier to go than other routes.

In fact, it is still as difficult as climbing the sky.

Especially now that it is still severe winter, they have to endure the severe cold and heavy snow, and also resist the thin air from the low-altitude area to the high-altitude area. Not much, and there is also an inhuman senior brother in the team.
